The lovely YOU !!

This pic was from a movie “The lovely bones”, just thought to share it with you for what I had learned from it.

The movie says ..whatever, you can read it on wiki, but in short , in the last sequence of the movie, when this little girl who has been murdered, is like stuck in the space of living and dead. She can make things happen in the real world(ghost power as shown in movie), can make herself visible to the living people out there(like her dad, to give him messages), but yet on the other side she is not free, “mukti” what Hindus call it, has not dawned on her yet.

Now, this becomes a situation for her where she can stay in the space she is right in and punish her murderer somehow. Some of the girls accompany her in this world, killed by the same person.She is letting her father know about the murderer and her father starts fighting with that guy, some incidents of their fights and her father getting beaten up are shown.so this goes on.

One day other girls let her know about a place they have to reach in that world for liberation and the time comes to leave.

She at this point of time has to choose between staying there and taking revenge OR going away towards peace, “mukti’, knowledge, salvation, whatever in our own words we can call it, the place we reach after giving up this body.

And here what she does....She chooses to leave. Wait.. what ? no revenge ? leave ?

All the story seems to be a metaphor to me for defining salvation for myself. Yes, that’s how life is! Being incomplete , hurtful and sad about things and holding them back, nourishing them in our hearts is of no utter use to us. We should get complete about things , whatever the things might be. Complete , OK , “no problem” about all those things. Unless we are complete about all the things that happened to us while we lived, we won’t get “mukti” EVEN after being dead !! (You see, ghosts shown in movies always have some tragedy associated with them before they died ) That was a little reckless thought for me.

So point is, while you live here, to do what that girl did is in your hands completely, really, stop holding grudges, forgive everyone, even you in some matters if its needed. Forgive OR ask for forgiveness and get complete. Cry out load, write on paper, tell a friend, tell LORD, do anything it takes to get free all that stinking stuff inside your mind about anyone or anything “that happened”. Let it go. What we are doing by holding it with us , is just poisoning ourselves with the memories of it, which no longer is true, we are a different person now, and the thing happened to the person is no longer here now.When you are out of this space, you would find a space where you would be able to love more and that's what everyone needs, even you. The lovely YOU!
